Installation Instructions
1. Make sure the power to all devices that you will
be connecting is turned off.
2. Optional: If you wish to extend the range of the
included remote control, connect the included IR
Extender Receiver to the IR port on the switch.
Locate the receiver unit in an area that allows for
a direct line of sight between it and the remote.
3. Connect an HDMI source device to an Input port
on the switch.
Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the
source to the switch must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m).
4. Repeat step 3 to connect source devices to the
remaining Input ports on the switch.
5. Connect the Output port on the switch to the
HDMI input port of your display.
Note: The length of the HDMI cable connecting the
switch to the display must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m).
6. Turn on the power to the HDMI source devices
and display.
7. Switch between source devices via the Select
pushbutton on top of the unit or the included
remote control. You can also let the Auto Switch
functionality automatically switch to ports that are
powered on. When multiple ports have powered-on
devices connected to them, the B119-003-UHD-MN
will switch to the lowest numbered port. Once the
device connected to the lowest numbered port is
powered off, the B119-003-UHD-MN will switch
to the next powered-on port in line.

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to get an acceptable image after
following the installation instructions, try these
troubleshooting tips:
1. Most HDMI source devices are able to provide
the necessary power for the operation of the
HDMI switch. However, in some situations,
the power supply of the HDMI source device is
insufficient, and additional power is required. In
those situations, a 5V 2A DC power supply (not
included) using a 3.5 x 1.35 mm output plug with
positive tip and a negative sleeve can be used.
2. Was the power to the connected devices turned
off prior to installation? If not, restart them.
3. Was the IR Extender Receiver connected after
powering on the connected devices? If so, power
the connected devices off and restart them.
4. What resolution are you trying to reach? The
B119-003-UHD-MN is tested to support 4K x 2K
Ultra High Definition (UHD) video resolutions up
to 3840 x 2160 @ 24 Hz or 30 Hz and 48-bit
(16 bits per channel) Deep Color.
5. What length HDMI cable are you using? (See the
Installation section in this manual for details on
the maximum cable distance.) The shorter the
cable being used, the higher the resolution you
will be able to obtain. If you are not able to get
an acceptable image, try using a shorter cable or
lowering your source’s video resolution or color
depth settings.

Troubleshooting
6. What type of cabling are you using? Inferior
cabling can result in poor performance, so it is
important that you use cables that can support
the video resolution you are trying to obtain. It
is recommended that you use Tripp Lite’s P569-
Series High-Speed HDMI cables, as they have
been tested to work with the B119-003-UHD-MN.
7. Test your cables to ensure they are working
properly. For example, connect your HDMI cable
between a source and a monitor that you know
work to see if the cable is functioning.
8. Is the unit located in an area that exposes
it to higher temperatures? If the product is
overheated, it will not function properly.
